Product Review - Munchies Lunch

About the Game

Footloose Games builds socially responsible games that can be enjoyed by grown-ups and kids alike (or even better, together!). They have just finished crafting their first PC-based game called Munchies' Lunch.

Munchies' Lunch is a puzzle-adventure game that's quick to learn, challenging, and intellectually stimulating.

The game's characters and their journey are inspired by a real-life family's escape from the conflict in Yugoslavia during the early 90's. The producer Vlado wanted to show appreciation to his parents who during the time of great difficulty managed to exemplify courage, strength and unconditional love. He did that by making his own mom the game's hero and by telling his family's inspiring story. He wrote a little about it on the game's website which you can take a peek at here here.

As a dad that loves playing games both by myself and with my family I can say that this game is quite addictive! I know that for me I had a lot of fun challenging myself to figure out which way that you had to move to make the munchies move away from the food that you needed to pick up before they ate it themselves and to make sure that I had enough points to make it to the next level.

My daughter did have a little trouble at first as she tried to figure out the controls, but once she did figure it out she was flying through the levels as well and having a blast.

Overall this was a lot of fun and challenging in its own right. If you like games and you like to be drawn into a game, this game is right for you!
